Technology companies have been highly prolific in the past few decades.
Every few years has seen the coming of age of a company that is a game
changer in the way we use technology .These innovative companies
change all existing trends and impact global markets. These are the
companies that we all secretly wish to be a part of.
Salesforce is one of them, a $25 billion company with 12 000 employees,
this year celebrated its 15 years in the software industry and featured as
Fortune’s #7 on the list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For; for the
sixth consecutive year.
Mark Benioff, now Chairman, and
CEO created Salesforce in 1999.
He had a vision to empower
businesses with the way they
connect to their customers.
He had 30 years of industry
experience, had formative years at Apple and leadership experience at
Oracle but he had to travel the hard road to finance his venture.
Silicon Valley venture capitalists repeatedly refused to invest in his start
up so he had to personally raise money through friends to start
Salesforce.
Today Salesforce is the global provider of enterprise cloud computing and
social enterprise solutions.
15 years after its creation, Salesforce is now the world’s CRM leader with
Microsoft’s Dynamics CRM as its closest competition.
